Re: Authenticator Accounts Hacked, ICC Quests, Crimson Deathcharger

Computer users running some form of Mac OS X are immune to this particular Trojan Horse since it is a DLL which only works within the Windows environment. However, that does not mean there will never been one that targets the Mac. As always, users should be highly suspicious of any attempts by 3rd party software to elevate privileges by throwing up a screen which requires you to re-authenticate as an administrator. Unless you are installing legitimate commercial software or merely changing System Preferences via your own initiation, you are not wise to grant credentials.

I never considered keylogging a hack. I mean basically someone is downloading something bad onto there computer. Its not the the keylogger forced its way on there. Someone was stupid and careless so they got a keylogger and now someone has there authenticator whatever. Its nice that Bliz is aware of this and helping people out but you'd have to be beyond stupid to download something like this...

nice to see that they´re adding new stuff to icc even after its release.

there are still 4 buffs in the gamefiles wich empowers arthas(blood,unholy,...) so maybe we see some yogghardmode mechanic in a few weeks(months?) at the arthas encounter and rewards you with the chest?

90% of WoW raiding can be summarized in 7 words: "Do not stand in the bad stuff!"

Re: Authenticator Accounts Hacked, ICC Quests, Crimson Deathcharger

Hardly any need to worry about the hacked attempt on authenticators - if you're up to date with security the chances of that happening is next to nothing really. And even so, it would require the person to be active at the time you're logging in and they only got a small window to work with.

So again, keylogger issue - same security measures as usual.

I suppose Blizzard's next step to up the security somewhat with regards to the authenticator... if the immediate IP address for logging in don't match for the IP address on authenticator code request should deny access to the account.
